/equipment/outlets/sensors that are sensitive to
water and heat (especially near fire alarm sensors).
Vacuum Functions:
1. Press the BLACK & WHITE vacuum button (

)
to
engage the vacuum function. The vacuum will turn on
and you will feel suction from the vacuum nozzle.
2. If the vacuum stops, a beeping noise is heard and
the vacuum waste tank lights (
b
) flashes, check for any
water present in the waste tank. Remove any water
present and proceed to Step 2 & 3 of “Preparing the
SV8W
| Vacuum Operations” (
page 1
).
3. Press and hold the BLACK & WHITE vacuum button
(
V
)
to select 3 vacuum levels: low, medium, or high.
The vacuum level lights display will light up in
correspondence to the different vacuum levels:

with steam when it is activated.
2. To activate the water injection, press the
BLUE
water injection (
L

button on the hose. The water
injection light (

3. If the SV8W makes a beeping noise and the
‘
Water
tank low
’
light (
c
) flashes on the display, proceed to
Step 2
of “Preparing the
SV8W | Steam
Operations”(
page 1).
NOTE
: Using the water injection continuously will
quickly drain the water tank, therefore it is advised
that the water injection function is to be used only
when cleaning hard to remove stained areas.
Warning Lights
The SV8W will make a beeping noise and a
red light will flash on certain conditions:
- Water tank low level (
c
)
- Vacuum waste tank no water/too much
waste (
b
)
For water tank low level, refer to Step 2 of “Preparing
the SV8W
| Steam Operations”.
For vacuum waste tank issues, clean out the waste
tank and proceed to Step 2 & 3 of “Prep
aring the
SV8W
| Vacuum Operations”.
Cleaning the SV8W
Draining the SV8W
’s boiler once a
month ensures that
the machine operates at optimal conditions.
WARNING: Ensure machine has cooled down before
attempting to clean out the boiler by checking that
the machine does not feel warm on the bottom part
and machine is free from any pressure.
You will need:
- A pan or container that can hold at least 5L of water
- A rag
- Flathead screwdriver
- Supplied socket wrench
1. Ensure the machine is not plugged into a power
source and the machine does not feel warm with no
pressure present.
2. Using a flathead screwdriver, remove the black
plastic cover concealing the boiler drain plug located
underneath the SV8W by inserting the screwdriver
into the slit and turning counter clockwise.
3. Once the brass boiler plug is exposed, prepare the
SV8W by positioning it on top of a pan or container.
4. Using the supplied socket wrench, unscrew the
boiler plug by slowly turning counter clockwise. You
may need to use a rag to hold the plug as you unscrew
the plug by hand after loosening using the socket
wrench. Let the water drain, then screw the plug back
on and tighten with supplied socket wrench.
